Increased emissions from road traffic resulting from the increase in car ownership have put enormous pressure on China’s environmental problems. To solve this problem, the Chinese government has attached great importance to the development of a new energy vehicle industry. This paper summarizes the incentive policies of China’s new energy vehicle industry. By sorting through the incentive policy system of the new energy vehicle industry, we find that the Chinese government’s promotion policy for the new energy vehicle industry is a process of gradual transformation from being government-led to being market-led. In this process, with the decrease of the subsidy amount, it is bound to cause a huge impact on the new energy vehicle industry.
